Care Standards Legislation Handbook

This seventh edition of the Care Standards Legislation Handbook presents all the legislation most needed by those involved in the workings of the regulatory systems and the appeals processes for care services in England and Wales. The book has been substantially revised and expanded to provide an extensive and updated library which includes the UK's Health and Social Care Act 2008, The Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults and Care Standards Tribunal (Children's and Adults' Barred Lists) (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2008, and The Care Quality Commission (Membership) Regulations 2008. Also included are other key UK statutory provisions, all relevant recent statutory instruments, and a jurisdiction table.
